Open the main program window by clicking the icon in the Windows notification area or by clicking Start → All Programs → ESET → ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

Toggle to Advanced mode by clicking Change… in the lower left corner and then clicking Yes if you are prompted to confirm or by pressing CTRL + M on your keyboard.
